Murder at Midnight by Avi


Project #2: Comic Strip of Avi's Murder at Midnight

Link: http://www.pixton.com/comic/bf1ojxsh

Method: The comic strip was created at http://www.pixton.com/, a free website allowing users to create their own cels. The page was not necessarily easy to use, as the site wants you to pay for a more exclusive membership.

Nevertheless, I felt that using a comic strip would be an interesting way to promote books online. Additionally, this book really lends itself well to a comic strip representation.

Reason for Inclusion: Avi's novel shows that characters in literature do not necessarily have to be smart, they can be average people with whom readers can connect with. Murder at Midnight is a fast paced mystery giving tweens a likeable hero.
